limitálja

Limitálja is a verb form in Hungarian, specifically the present tense, third person singular of limitálni, meaning to limit. It can also appear as the formal second-person singular form when addressing someone politely (Ön limitálja), since Hungarian formal address uses the third-person singular verb form. The word denotes that a subject imposes a limit or restriction on something.

In usage, limitálja is common in technical, administrative, financial, and policy contexts where restrictions, caps, quotas, or controlled access are discussed. The act described by limitálja is named limitálás (the process or result of limiting). Derivatives include limitáló (adjective or noun form meaning limiting or restrictive) and related verbs such as korlátozni (to restrict), which can be used as synonyms in many contexts.

Grammatical notes include that limitálja governs an object being limited, and Hungarian allows definite-object conjugation in this form, which can affect nuances in sentences with definite objects. Examples include: „A cég limitálja a felhasználók számát.” (The company limits the number of users.) „A rendszergazda limitálja a hozzáférést.” (The administrator limits access.)

Etymology and variation: limitálni is a loanword from the English limit, adapted to Hungarian morphology. The form limitálja follows standard -álni verbs’ present-tense conjugation patterns in the third person singular, and can also appear in formal address as a polite second person. See also limitálás, korlátozás, határ.
